Ruff's Story

Border Collie/Labrador Mix / Male / 1 year / 50 lbs / Adoption Fee $550<br/><br/>Requirements: Another Dog in the Home<br/>Preferred: Fenced-in-Yard<br/><br/><br/>Hi, my name is Ruff! I am a shy boy with a calm temperament and a sweet soul! I haven't met another dog that I don't like, but I can take a while to warm up to new people. I didn't have a great start in life, so I might need a little extra patience to warm up to new people. <br/><br/>I am potty trained, I walk great on a leash, and I am crate trained! In fact, I like spending time in my crate when I get a little overwhelmed because it is my safe space. I am still working on getting used to my humans before learning my commands, but I am a naturally very well-behaved gentleman! I am very food motivated and learn quickly!<br/><br/>I am looking for a dog to be my new best friend. Because I'm a timid guy, I look to other dogs to follow around and learn confidence from. I have won over all three of my doggy foster siblings immediately! Whether we are playing outside or just hanging around the house, I love spending time together all day!<br/><br/>I am very gentle with my one year old human foster brother! If he ever gets a little too energetic for me, I just walk away. I'm not sure about the cats in my foster home yet. I bark at them because I don't understand them, but I have never chased them and the cats mostly stay away from me because they don't like my barking.<br/><br/>With a little patience, lots of love, and a few treats, I am getting more confident and comfortable in my foster home every day. I am learning to love the attention and pets I get from my humans, and I make sure to pay them back with lots of kisses.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet dog to bring love and companionship to your family, I am your guy! If you think I could be a good fit for you, apply to adopt me today! I can't wait to make your home my forever home!<br/><br/><br/>***Please inquire ONLY through our website: www.woofgangrescue.com***<br/><br/>DATCP 402490

Woof Gang Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our top priority here at WGR is to find the best possible home for each dog.  We screen potential adopters in a variety of ways to ensure that every dog goes to a home that is safe, loving, and lasting.  During the adoption process, you will work closely with your dog's foster parent(s), who know your dog most intimately and can determine if your home is the best fit for your dog.  We will take an application, run a background check, and ensure all of your information is accurate.  We schedule a meet & greet for your family to interact with your dog prior to adopt and we may also perform a scheduled home visit as well.  All adopters sign a contract that outlines and promises proper treatment and care for your pet.  The process may seem strict but it is that way on purpose.  Most of the dogs we rescue come from shelters and/or abusive pasts. We are 100% dedicated to finding them a home where they can be happy, healthy, strong, loved, and cared for every day for the rest of their lives. ***We adopt to Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota only at this time. Residents of Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota will be required to drive to Wisconsin for a meet and greet and the dog that they apply for MUST already be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption.***
